Frequently asked questions
Language is rarely a barrier, and conversational English is usually enough.If you're comfortable reading this website, your English is likely sufficient for a session.You might worry about finding the right words to explain how you feel, especially in another language. But even in our mother tongue, we don't always know how to describe what we're feeling, let alone why.And the good news is, with this approach, you don't have to.Unlike more traditional suggestion-based hypnosis, which relies on verbal suggestions to guide the experience, the approach I use doesn't require you to explain your feelings in detail, revisit difficult memories, or consciously understand why you're experiencing something. In fact, much of the work can take place without you having to put your experiences into words at all.And there's no rush. We'll take things at your own pace, with plenty of time to make sure you understand what's happening and feel comfortable throughout.Sessions are available in both English and Mandarin, as Chinese is my mother tongue.Still unsure? You're always welcome to book a free consultation to talk through any questions or concerns.
A lot of people actually find it easier to relax when they have a session in their own space.You’re somewhere familiar, you don’t have to travel anywhere afterwards, and when the session ends, you can stay there and enjoy that peace and calm for a little longer. You don’t have to immediately get up, go outside, drive home, or switch back into everyday life.It’s not about whether hypnosis works better online or in person. It comes down to where you feel most comfortable and relaxed. The easier it is for you to settle into the experience, the better.For some people, that makes online sessions a better fit than coming into an office.That's why I offer sessions online by default.If you prefer face-to-face sessions, they're available on Mondays at my office in Antwerp: Lange Kievitstraat 25, 2018 Antwerpen
All you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a comfortable place where you can relax. Simply position your device so I can see your face and both hands during the session.You can lie down on a bed or sofa, or sit if you prefer. There is no strict setup as long as you feel comfortable and supported.During the session, you are always free to speak, move your body, adjust your position, use the bathroom, or pause if needed.Your space doesn't need to be perfect, and some background noise is completely fine.
Some clients experience significant improvement after just one session. Some need two sessions in total, or a few more when there is more to work through.I don’t promise a specific number of sessions in advance, because that really depends on what you bring and what comes up during the work.My goal isn’t to keep you coming back for as many sessions as possible. It’s to help you create the change you came for as efficiently as we can, at a pace that’s right for you.The method I work with is known within the hypnosis field for being a highly efficient way of working, with a strong focus on addressing what is driving the issue rather than simply managing symptoms.After each session, we can look at what has changed and decide together whether more sessions would be helpful.
Your first session lays the foundation and typically lasts around 1.5–2 hours. Follow-up sessions are usually shorter, generally lasting around 45–90 minutes.Because this work is adapted to each individual in the moment, there is no rigid structure. Sessions remain flexible based on what feels most supportive and appropriate for you.
For online sessions, all you need is a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a comfortable, private space. You may also want to have a pillow or cushion for extra support, and a blanket nearby, as some people feel cooler when they relax deeply.For in-person sessions, there's nothing special you need to bring or prepare. Blankets, tea, coffee and water are all available to help you feel comfortable. The most important thing is simply to come with an open mind. You don't need to fully understand hypnosis, know how it works, or worry about doing it correctly.There's nothing you need to force or make happen. Just allow yourself to experience it, just as you are allowing yourself to reach these texts. Simple as that. You can also read more about how to prepare for your first hypnosis session.
My approach to hypnosis focuses on addressing issues at their root, rather than simply managing symptoms. When you come into this work with openness and a willingness to engage in the process, it can lead to meaningful, lasting change.As with any therapeutic approach, results can never be guaranteed. However, my years of experience show that almost everyone makes significant progress towards improvement.
Some clients come to me after previous hypnosis experiences where they were told they “couldn’t be hypnotised.”In my experience, preparation and expectations can make a real difference. It’s not necessarily that you can’t be hypnotised. Sometimes, it comes down to understanding what hypnosis actually is, knowing what to expect, and having the right preparation.I’ve worked with many people who considered themselves overthinkers, unable to let go, or hard to hypnotise, and I haven't found these traits to be barriers to meaningful work. understand this concern personally because I once believed hypnosis didn't work for me either. That experience helps me understand the kind of preparation that can make a real difference, especially for people who feel sceptical, analytical, or who may have had a disappointing experience elsewhere.
No. You don't need to share anything you're uncomfortable talking about or relive past experiences.This approach to hypnosis was developed to allow people to work through deeply personal or difficult experiences without having to disclose detail or consciously revisit painful memories.One of the unique aspects of this work is that we can work with what brought you here without requiring you to explain everything or revisit memories you'd rather keep private. I've even worked with public figures who place a high value on privacy. Without knowing the details of what brought them to me, I was still able to support them in making significant progress.You're welcome to share as much or as little as feels right for you.
No. You're not giving up control, and hypnosis doesn't make you do anything you don't want to do. You can still be aware of what's happening around you.It actually feels very natural. A lot of people expect hypnosis to feel really dramatic, but often it just feels like you're deeply relaxed and focused. You might even think, “Am I actually hypnotised?”That's perfectly normal. Hypnosis doesn't have to feel dramatic or unusual. It's a state of focused attention where your awareness turns more inward, allowing us to work with what may be underlying the issue you're experiencing.
People often feel deeply relaxed, lighter, clearer, calmer, or more connected to themselves. Many also say it feels like they've just had a deep, restful sleep.It's also completely normal to feel a little tired right after a session. Drink some water and give yourself time to take things slowly. This passes on its own, and you may find yourself feeling more refreshed, lighter, and more grounded afterwards.
You do not actually fall asleep during hypnosis, even though it can sometimes feel that way afterward.You can still hear, respond, move, or open your eyes whenever you want to. Some people remain quite aware of their surroundings, while others experience a much deeper sense of relaxation and inward focus.You might even feel as though you're drifting in and out. There's no particular way you're supposed to feel, and you don't need to worry about whether you're doing it correctly.
In some companies, hypnosis work is eligible under a training, coaching, leadership development, or wellbeing budget.This depends on your employer’s internal policy, so I recommend checking with your HR or People team first. I can provide an invoice for reimbursement purposes.People seek this work not only during difficult moments, but also to support personal and professional development. This can include areas such as confidence, public speaking, stress management, performance, emotional resilience, leadership presence and burnout prevention.
Paid street parking is available in the surrounding area, subject to availability. There are also public parking garages nearby, including Interparking Centraal, near Antwerp Central Station.I recommend allowing a little extra time to find parking before your session.
